Identify the symptom — see the recommended modality.
| Client symptom | Recommended modality |
|---|---|
| “I don’t know where to start with AI” | Strategic Diagnostic |
| “I know what I want, I lack a plan” | Strategic AI Roadmap |
| “We have architectural tech debt” | Critical Systems Architecture |
| “Audit/compliance is heavy” | Data Governance & Compliance |
| “We need a senior CTO but can’t hire one” | Fractional CTO |
| “The board needs technical voice” | Board Advisory |
| “We need research or expert opinion” | Applied Research & Expert Reports |
| “C-Level and Board need to grasp AI” | In-Company Executive Training |
Seven formats to match different maturity levels and decision speed.
Executive analysis of AI, data and architecture maturity with prioritized report, risk identification and actionable quick wins.
Generative AI and agent adoption plan with prioritized use cases, target architecture, estimated budget and change plan.
Design of distributed, cloudless, HFT, MPC custody, zero-trust or hardware security systems — with ADRs and optional proof of concept.
Data governance framework, LGPD/GDPR compliance, responsible AI policies and algorithmic audit trail.
Fractional executive engagement (2-3 days/week), leading the technical team, setting standards and reporting to the Board.
Advisory board seat with technical agenda and long-horizon view. Equity considered only for Series A+ startups with clean cap tables.
Workshops and masterclasses for C-Level and Board on generative AI, AGI, blockchain and digital sovereignty. Material in PT/EN/ES.
Three sectors where 80% of engagements concentrate. Other verticals on demand.
HFT, cash-and-carry arbitrage, LSTM for fraud detection, institutional MPC custody, Bitcoin/Web3, risk modeling and financial architecture simulation.
Municipal strategic planning, data governance, algorithmic audit and applied LGPD — real experience at Itupeva City Hall (2017-2023).
Edge computing, cloudless architectures, embedded cryptography, hardware custody (Project PSI) and environmental sensing (GoldenLeaf).
